Hey, I’m Richard! I help performers and leaders overcome the fear they feel around expressing themselves so they can get out of their heads and onto the stage, around the meeting table or in a one-to-one.
​
Who I work with
​
I work with artists, purpose-driven business owners and change advocates. These include coaches, healers, mental health support practitioners, not-for-profit representatives, musicians, actors, improvisers, as well as individuals with a personal cause they want to raise awareness of, such as survivors of domestic violence and climate change campaigners.
​
Why I do this work
​
I do this work because I believe that we are all at our most powerful and impactful when we are truly being ourselves. All of us carry some form of conditioning, though, which stops us from showing up authentically and truthfully. Fear of judgement, of being seen and of getting things wrong impact on the way we show up physically and energetically in the world. The work I do with leaders and performers helps to strip away these conditioned tendencies and allows them to show up with more power and authenticity, for the sake of making a positive difference in the world.
​
My background
​
Although I am an accomplished musician, improviser and speaker, it wasn't always that way.
​
I spent decades feeling totally petrified of sharing my thoughts and ideas with an audience, even a small one. It was really frustrating because I had so much to say and wanted to make an impact but couldn’t get over the fear of being in the spotlight.
​
As you’ll see on the ‘My Story’ page, I eventually found my passion to make a difference bigger than my fear of being seen. I also discovered somatic techniques that helps me to inhabit my body, which in turn reduces my anxiety and propensity to overthink.
